Patented J an. 22, 1912.

Application filed April 27, 1917. Serial No. 164,922.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EVERETT REYNOLDS,

a citizen of the United States, residing atlvaynesburg, in the county of Lincoln and State of Kentucky, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Gasolene Burners; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to improvements in gasolene burners.

The object of the invention is to provide a portable lamp or illuminating device, especially adapted for burning mixed fuel.

Another object of this invention is to pro vide a lamp capable of burning gasolene, kerosene and alcoholor the like, which is gasified and burned in connection with an incandescent mantle.

A further object of this invention is to provide a lamp of this character, which may be easily kept clean and one that will operate with the highest and best efliciency, and one that will be inexpensive in construction.

A still further object of this invention is to provide a device of this character, which will be simple, practical and comparatively inexpensive in construction, and one that can be manufactured and sold at a low cost.

lVith these and other objects in view, the invention consists in the novel combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described and set forth in the claim hereto appended.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a front elevation of my improved burner as made in accordance with this invention,

Fig. 2 is a view taken at right angles to Fig. 1 and partly broken away,

Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. 1 partly in section and on an enlarged scale.

Like numerals of reference designate corresponding parts in all the figures of the drawings.

Referring to the drawings, the numeral 1 designates a supply pipe, which has arranged thereon at right angles thereto, the controlling valve 2, which has the usual controlling stem and head 3, thisbeing of the needle type. The upper end of the supply pipe is screwthreaded as at A to removably receive a starting cup 5 or priming cup, which has arranged therein, a suitable asbestos or absorbent material 6, which may be saturated with alcohol or the like fuel.

A generator pipe 7 is removably titted in the supporting cup 5 and communicates with the supply pipe 1 as shown in Fig. 3. The upper end of the generator pipe is screwthreaded as at 8 and is adapted to detachably receive the nozzle 9, which is provided with the central aperture 10, which establishes a communication between the supply and generator pipes and mixing chamber. The mixing chamber 11 above referred to has secured thereto and depending from the under side, the burner pipes 12, which have secured on their lower ends, the mantles 13, and these burner pipes are located adjacent each end of the mixing chamber.

A supporting pipe 1% is secured to the under side of the mixing chamber and depends therefrom and this pipe is located between the burner pipes 12 and has secured thereto, a horizontal coupling 15, which has screwthreaded in each end, the air inlet pipes 16, which are arranged in horizontal alinement, and the coupling 15 is screwthre adedly mounted on the nozzle 9 to establish a communication between the supply pipe and mixing chamber and to permit the fuel to pass into the mixing chamber and be thoroughly mixed with the air where it is then distributed down through the burner pipes and mantles, where it is ignited.

A supporting rod 17 is secured to the upper side of the mixing chamber centrally thereof as at 20 or formed integrally there with and has its upper end screwthreaded as at 21. A conical hood 22 has its apex fully open and has its peripheral enlarged end bent laterally to provide an annular flange 23, which is substantially horizontal in cross section and this flange is provided with suitable apertures 24, which are adapted to removably support a globe thereto should it be desired.

A substantially U-shaped strap 25 has its circular web portion 26, and the arms of said strap 25 are bent inwardly and directed outwardly in a divergent plane and are secured to the exterior of the conical hood 22 as at 27 at diametrically opposite points.

The web 26 is substantially semicircular in cross section and is provided centrally with an opening through which extends the threaded end 21 of the .rod 17.

A cup-shaped deflector 27 is provided with a central opening and formed on its medial portion on the exterior thereof is a boss 28, which has a screwthreaded opening to receive the upper end of the rod 17 therein and this boss has formed therefrom, a suspending hook 29, which removably supports the device in position. The screwthreaded end 21 is removably fitted in the boss 28 and it securely connects the mixing chamber. and its connections with the hood and deflector, thus it can be seen that the heated air radiating from the mixing chamspace between the conical shape hood 22 and deflecting member 27, and the deflecting member 27 will deflect rain or other Water should the device he hung outside.

In operation, the suitable fuel is placed in the "mixing cup or priming cup 5, it is ignited, the valve 3 is opened, the fuel passing up through the pipe 1 into the pipe '7 is heated and aporized and it Will then pass intothe mixing chamber, and air is drawn through the intake pipe 16, the air and vaporized gas is thoroughly mixed and distributed through the burner pipes 12 to the mantle 13, where it is ignited. The mixing chamber is arranged in the hood 22, the rod is extended upwardly through the her ll may readily pass out through the opening in the semi-circular bight portion of the supporting strap 25, the cup-shaped Copies of this patent may be obtained for deflector is screi'rthreadedly fitted on the threaded end of the rod, thus connecting the structure together and providing a unitary compact arranged device, which may be readily suspended from any suitable support by the hook 529 as illustrated.

hat is claimed is:

A burner comprising a supply pipe, a valve in said supply pipe, a generating pipe connected to and communicating With the supply pipe, a starting cup carried by the igeneratingand supply pipe, inlet air pipes connected to and communicating with the generating pipega nozzle onthegenerating pipe an'destablishing a communication between the inlet and generating pipes, a mixing chamber sec'ured' to the inlet pipes, burner tubes depending froni the mixing chamber, a rod formed integrally With the upper side of the mixing chamber, a conical shaped hood arranged over the mixing chamber and rod, a substantially"Uehaped strap secured to the apex of the hood,'and a cup-shaped deflecting member detachably secured to the upper end of the'rod to secure the conical shaped hood to the mixing chamber, and'means car'ried by the deflecting cupshaped member for supporting the device in position.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
